DRAPER, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--StorageCraft®,
whose mission is to protect all data and ensure its constant
availability, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The
Channel Company, has named Lee Schor, vice president of sales -Americas
at StorageCraft, a 2019 Channel Chief. For the second consecutive time,
Lee was chosen by the CRN editors for inclusion in the Channel Chiefs
Most Influential list.

Channel Chief honorees are selected by CRN’s editorial staff because
they have demonstrated exceptional leadership, vision, and commitment to
their channel partner programs. Each Channel Chief exemplifies highest
professional achievements, standing in the industry, dedication to the
channel partner community, and strategies for driving future growth and
innovation.

Of the Channel Chiefs, only 50 were selected for the Most Influential
list, each singled out for his or her prominent role in guiding and
shaping the IT channel itself. The executives on this annual list are
part of an elite group of leaders who drive the channel agenda and
evangelize the importance of channel partnerships. This distinguished
group is recognized for outstanding commitment to driving growth and
revenue in their organization through partners, as well as extraordinary
leadership in the channel as a whole.

Schor’s role in creating an innovative partner and channel-focused
program, the StorageCraft Partner Success Program, helped him gain
recognition as a Channel Chief. The StorageCraft Partner Success Program
not only encompasses all StorageCraft products, it’s among the most
profitable in its space. StorageCraft saw the program’s introduction as
an opportunity for the sales team to work more closely with a focused
set of partners and build more strategic partnerships.

By taking advantage of new product offerings and the revamped partner
program, partners can differentiate themselves in the market, offer more
to existing clients and attract new ones. They’ll improve margins and
reduce operational cost and overhead too. StorageCraft’s goal for the
new program is to empower partners, based on their business models and
growth roadmaps, to bring the right-fit offering to their customers, and
to maximize their profitability while doing so.
